Maaate.

Application led ctober 15, 1919. Serial No. 330,78d.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. GROGAN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Scranton, in the county ofLackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Safety-Razor Heines; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a Jfull, clear, and exact description ot' the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates to hones and particularly to hones made insections for sharpening safety razors.

An object of this invention is to provide aV hone that can beconveniently carried around and that will sharpen both sides of theblade at once, and that will be divided at the razor edge so as not todestroy the line edge of the razor, and that is of simple form, and thatcan be quickly and cheaply made, and that is of such a design as will beattractive and readily salable.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of theconstruction, combination and in detail of arrangements of parts ashereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure l is a side elevation of this hone.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of this hone.

Figure 3 is a tcp view of Figure l.

Figure 4; is a side elevation of one of the sections of this hone.

In detail the invention consists of a pair of semi-circular stones orother suitable abrasive material of suitable fine grain for use as arazor hone, although this structure is not limited to razor hones andmay be used for other sharpening devices, each of which stones isindicated by the numeral l, and a casing indicated by the numeral 2 forholding said stones in proper relation. These stones are beveled from aline through their diameter outward and upward at such an angle as toadapt to the angle of the razor blade to be sharpened, y The casing is adrawn or otherwise-fabricated brass nickel plated casing, although itmay be made of any other suitable and practical material.

In operation the casing is held between the fingers and the blade drawnbetween the two pieces of stone through the recess created by the bevelon the two said stones.

I claim:

The combination with a holder comprising cylinder, of a pair ofsemi-cylindrical abrasive members fitted therein and projectingtherefrom at one end, the outer end portions of said members beingbeveled on their inner 'faces todefine an acute angle between them.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.

WILLIAM F. GRO GAN.
